In stroller mode how easy is it to engage the parking brake? Is it foot or hand operated?

It's foot operated and very easy. If you zoom in on one of the pictures on amazon, you can see the foot brake when looking though rear wheel.

I was not sure, so I just tried it three times, yes I can fold the stroller with one hand, just not in one motion.There are two ring like levers below the handles on each side. In addition there is a release button next to the ring on the right to allows the right ring to release. I was able to press the release and pull the ring on the right -then- pull the ring on the left and fold the stroller towards the ground and getting it to latch with one hand.Also I was able to lean the folded stroller against myself and lift the locking catch and unfold the stroller with a few shakes and use my foot to fully open the stroller.

Yes, just push the hand brake levers down until they click. As a side note the wheels are 5.5 inches, not 6 inches as advertised. No problem, the walker moves quite nicely. Breaks on mine are VERY good., no adjustment required.

No foot or hand brake . It stops moving when you let your finger off the button . My 2 yr old granddaughter does fine with it

I bought these for my parents so I'm not able to check to be exactly sure but I believe you pull that black level on the side by the armrest to release the footrest and then push back. Then if I recall to release the footrest you pull the lever again and push down with your legs. Wasn't difficult at all. I hope that helps!

There is a wrist strap that you can use if you are worried about the stroller getting away from you, I didn't personally research any strollers with handbrakes (it's not all that hilly where I live). The stroller is light enough that I wouldn't think a hill would be too much of a problem.I also think I may have misunderstood you at first. This model doesn't have a handbrake, what looks like a handbrake is actually the lever that you pull to fold up the stroller, sorry if that isn't what you were asking! Happy hunting!

Absolutely! It is very easy to steer one handed. A truly awesome stroller. I highly recommend it!!!

By stepping on the brake the stroller will stay in the locked position when in the folded position. I do not use the d-ring straps and do not know either. Hope this helps.

You can switch it. It's a 2 piece holder, removing both pieces allows you to attach it to another stroller and/or remove it from yours if you want to.

We do it ALL the time!!! You might also want to look into the Joovy Bumprider Universal Stroller Board. :)

The wheels are plastic like most umbrella strollers, so it's not going to be smooth like a jogging stroller on cobblestone. Much much lighter than any jogging stroller, though.

When you release the foot pedal it closes by itself, slowly (which is good, no slam). However, you can lift it straight up by hand and it will lock into place, which is good for removal of the plastic bin and for times when you have a few trips to make to the trash.

I don't know. We haven't done anything since we tried to contact customer service, but were not successful. Basically, we just have a stroller that works when it wants to, but the majority of the time the wheel locks and we can't turn it. Sorry I'm no help for you!

It's easy to maneuver, however because it is an umbrella stroller, you still need to use two hands to push, steer or move about.

Yep. Easy, peasy for us. Biked to concerts and markets and anyways popped it into stroller mode with ease.

There are 2 ways to lock and unlock the wheels. You can manually push the brakes down by hand or foot and use the hand brakes. FYI if the hand brakes are engaged after you unlock the the lower part of the brakes it won't fully disengage. Both have to be unlocked to keep the wheel rolling free. The foot pedals can adjust by pushing in the buttons.

There is a wrist strap & I don't feel the hand brake is necessary. I love this stroller and totally recommend.
